Enjoyable, thoughtful and easy to listen

I was initially unsure about this book but continued with it and really pleased I did. The narration was excellent and worked well with the book. It is a Japanese story translated into English, which again was excellent. The story is so much more than a talking cat and a boy visiting different vaults. It is thought provoking in what role books play in the modern world, who has access to them. How modern technology is influencing a decline in book reading and about morals and what you believe to be right. I enjoyed it.

Totally Silly and I loved it

I listened to this in one sitting on a snowy Saturday afternoon, whilst doing paperwork. Easy listening and I did burst out laughing a couple of times with Tiger's attitude. I really liked the fact that some Japanese words were kept . Because in my view if every word was translated I feel the story would have lost something of itself.

Looking now for my next Japanese cat book.

A beautiful book that had me reflecting on my own reading

Truly an incredible translation and beautiful novel. Wonderfully read as well. The story follows a young boy and his dealings with grief alongside a talking cat. What more could you want?

Delightful

A delightful Japanese fantasy about books with a talking cat. It also has thoughts about life

Just wonderful
